Would an attack on Iran be Legal

As diplomatic attempts continue in the UN Security Council to get Iran to suspend its nuclear enrichment activities, the question has been raised about an American attack on Iran and whether it would be legal under international law

It would not
Unfortunately, the illegality makes it almost certain Bush** will do it.

1. according to the bush preemptive strike doctrine it will be legal
not that bush cares about that. even hitler tried to have legal pretexts to many things he did.

2. I doubt it, being an aggressive war and all - neither was Iraq technically
If they cared about that we'd all be blessed.

3. Does it matter?

Until this sack of shit is in prison for war crimes I will continue to believe that international law has the weight of a gnat in the United States.

5. That is a question you need to answer yourself.
Answer depend on colour of one soul.
We always has the ability to judge right from wrong.
We always has the freedom to chose to do right or wrong.


To me it is EVIL>
